Need Some Name Help (in German)

[Susano]

I need a good German name for a generic flame-thrower trooper. This is for a WWII scenario. Something like "Armored Fire Trooper" or some such.

["V"]

As an informal nickname "Feuerdrachen" (firebreathing dragon) may do, but given the usual German army way of naming things - very practical but lacking in artistry - their official name could be Panzer Flammenwerfer Soldaten (Armoured Flamethrower soldiers).

More pulpy alternative: Die Feuerbestattung Kriegern - the Cremation Warriors.

You'll probably have to work out the correct plurals, I seem to have the wrong brain in today.

Thanks, V. Panzer Flammenwerfer Soldaten it is!

Gepanzertes Feuer Trooper would be a more acurate translation of your orignal name.

I thought that the German word for "Troopers" was Truppen.
